Oil soluble color precursor involving certain crystalline 6-phenyl pyridine derivatives

Abstract

This invention is directed to a compound which is 4-(4'-(N',N'-dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-(2'-n-octyloxyphenyl)-6-phenyl pyridine.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. The compound which is 4-(4'-(N',N'-dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-(2'-n-octyloxyphenyl)-6-phenyl pyridine. 
     
     
       2. A composition containing color precursors which provide a black image when developed wherein said composition includes 4-(4'-(N',N'-dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-(2'-n-octyloxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine. 
     
     
       3. The composition of claim 2 wherein said composition is useful in a carbonless duplicating system. 
     
     
       4. The composition of claim 2 wherein said composition is useful in a cylithographic system. 
     
     
       5. The compound of claim 1 wherein said compound is crystalline. 
     
     
       6. The composition of claim 2 wherein said 4-(4'-N',N'-dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-(2'-n-octyloxyphenyl)-6-phenylpyridine is crystalline.
